Police responded early Sunday morning to caller reports of a cougar sighting in Southeast Portland.

According to authorities, two callers said they had spotted a full-size cougar near Southeast Division Street and 121st Avenue. The callers reported seeing the animal heading north across Division and into the neighborhood.

Several Portland police officers responded at about 5:22 a.m., but they didn't locate the cougar. Police advise anyone who sees the cougar to not approach the animal but rather immediately call 9-1-1.

The sighting comes after recent reports of a cougar seen in the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve area in Hillsboro. Three people reported seeing a cougar, but after a 36-hour search, Hillsboro and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials did not find the animal.

Trails in the wetlands preserve were reopened, and a Hillsboro parks department spokeswoman reported that the cougar "appears to have moved on."
